Shinto Shrines and Buddhist Temples

Nikko’s spiritual landscape is defined by the Shrines and Temples of Nikko, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This collection features the opulent Tōshō-gū, the final resting place of Tokugawa Ieyasu, alongside the ancient Rinnō-ji Temple and Futarasan-jinja. These sites showcase the intricate wood carvings and gold leaf of Edo-period architecture, set against a backdrop of ancient cedar forests. The list includes major pilgrimage destinations and secluded mountain shrines that have served as centers of Shinto and Buddhist worship for over 1,200 years.
